Fins and Things 3.0

This is what wheeling in Moab is all about. You can do this Jeep trail in a stock vehicle as long as you have decent approach angles in the front and back and good tires. You spend all day in sand or going up and down fins -- smooth, steep and long expanses of slickrock (sandstone).

Try Baby Lion's Back near the entrance booth to the Sand Flats Recreation Area.  It is on the left, past the entrance to Hell's Revenge.  It's short but a fun introduction to driving on slickrock fins.

The southern portion and the northwest portion of Fins & Things are the most interesting.  The center is sort of mundane and bumpy.  Alternate routes allow you to avoid the center if you want to make a shorter trip.

There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

Just follow the rubber

There are some climbs that a novice Jeeper will think impossible to do.  Just follow the rubber and you will be OK.  This dinosaur is in the northwest part of the trail, beyond the alternate entrance by the radio tower.

Up you go

This trail is one-way as indicated by the arrows.
